After the early service at Calvary this morning, our team gathered with the Elders of the church for a special time of anointing and prayer. Their words of blessing and encouragement set the tone for the journey ahead and reminded us that this trip is all about serving in God’s strength and for His glory.
Immediately after, the 11 members of Calvary’s Renew Crew loaded into two church vans packed to the brim with luggage, bedding, groceries for the week, and—of course—plenty of tools. With hearts full of anticipation, we departed for David, Kentucky, ready for the work God has prepared for us.
The Lord truly went before us: the weather stayed clear, traffic was smooth, and our caravan made excellent time. After a long day of travel, we arrived safely at the St. Vincent’s Mission volunteer house around 10 p.m.
Though the day was long, spirits are high. We’re eager to rest tonight and begin our assignments tomorrow at the two homes we’ve been entrusted to help repair and restore. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we serve and share Christ’s love with the families we’ll meet this week.
